Beyond the real world, virtual art exhibitions are cultural digital spaces – which tell you in our story “NARRATIVES” by Art4you Gallery.
Dubai: Visiting an art museum can have a multitude of health benefits. But what about virtual exhibitions? A team of researchers recently studied their therapeutic virtues and found that they could be on par with those of real-world art experiences.
The idea of going to a gallery for health benefits may sound surprising, but it is a concept that’s gaining ground – and for good reason. Numerous publications have highlighted the multiple benefits of art on our physical and mental wellbeing. Contact with works of art can help relieve chronic pain and alleviate stress and anxiety. The benefits of virtual exhibitions are even more pronounced if the people who visit them have a particular attachment to the art, or find it beautiful.
The latest example is the Art4you Gallery which has just launched their 28th Edition of an interactive virtual art exhibition NARRATIVES featuring augmented reality versions of 25 International artists. Featuring nearly 66 works of art from across the global art collection, the website invites online visitors to explore the virtual gallery. Objects come to life in augmented reality with the virtual layout displaying art from across millennia and from all over the world.
“Our mission since the Art4you Gallery’s founding 6years ago has been to connect people to art and ideas, and to one another—something we’ve found to be more powerful than ever over the pandemic months of isolation and uncertainty. Art4you Gallery brings the gallery to audiences wherever they are in an innovative viewing experience in which users can virtually visit iconic spaces and engage with the masterpieces, learn more about the works in a playful way through 360-degree interactive experience, and enjoy bringing the art into one’s own surroundings,” said Curator Jesno Jackson .
We extend the boundaries with virtual adventures: admire the stories of each art piece, explore the life of artists, and look for inspiration. What else to do in the cultural digital space – we tell you in our story “NARRATIVES”. The exhibition was officially launched on August 5th at UAE time 4pm broadcasted through Zoom Webinar with artists, and audiences. The exhibition was officially opened by Chief Guest – H.E Laila Rahhall – President & Founder of Business Gate in the presence of Special Guest Mr. Peter Farrington, Exhibition Reviewer -Surbhi Jariwala, Social Media Influencer – Sonal B Chhibber, Singer-Irka, and Art Director – Patrizia Gallo, Costa Rica.

Because of quarantine, almost all have moved “online “during covid-19 pandemic. But that still continued with Art4you. “A virtual exhibition is not only a collection of interesting exhibits and texts.

Our artists are storytellers, people who are trying to analyze a situation, find a shape and a format for that situation and put it in a visual frame. Each artist we represent is original and very particular in his own signature, but all are part of the same circle.
To fully immerse yourself in the great art, the gallery used the technology, which allows you to move from one hall to another – almost as if it were in real life. You can “walk” through the halls on your computer screen, and smartphones. To see detailed information about an exhibit, walk up close to it and click on it. Curated by Jesno Jackson and featuring artists from around the world, NARRATIVES showcases pieces that are interactive and absorbing, sharing stories entailed in artistic creations showcases the artist’s perspective of a certain experience that called to their soul.
Art is fueled by inspiration and behind every inspired moment there is a story, one whose depths can only be discovered through the complexity of creativity and colors. Some stories can only be told to their best potential, in a way that goes beyond the restricting words in a printed page, in the way of an artist. Art forms an emotional connection with its viewers through the message and story it dictates, may it be a story of concern, sadness or even one of happiness. The art acts as a medium of communication to narrate the kind of connection the artist held with their inspiration. Every one of them has a story to tell, and the stories one chooses to tell is an individualistic opinion with infinite possibilities, where each one of them holds incomparable value with a specialist of their own.
